First or Third person? Options

[Renee]

Which do you prefer, First or Third person? I am mostly a 3rd person gamer for Bethesda titles. I'll switch to 1st occasionally, I'll do this while decorating or looking for something which is lost, for instance.

But here's the real reason I started this thread. I have this whacked-out theory, I wonder if there's any truth to it. For those who have played table games, especially long ago. There were two basic ways to approach table games.

-- 1). play-act everything, essentially you'd 'voice' your character.
-- 2). use lead figurines, such as these.

We used figurines around our table, back in the '80s. We'd see our characters at all times, just like seeing pieces on a Monopoly board. I think this has something to do with my preference for 3rd person. I wonder if anybody here was more of a play-acting type, and prefers 1st. Probably not, but I had to wonder aloud.

Thank you

Thank you for the welcome sweetie...Oh gosh, so many places to be, so little time <Chuckles>. I look forward to some story writing here...I hope they don’t mind oodles of blood 😈.

Glad you still have your film noir avatar piccy...👍

Talking of which I must get this avatar pic thingy to work...

Heya I uploaded mine on imgur, you have to resize it to 90x90 pixels first.

Nobody so far subscribes to my silly theory in post 1.

Well I liked the theory though. It is a really good read. And its also so logical that I want to believe it. Its just due to the result testing we've shared with our own life experiences, its seems to not be 100% true. Not saying I am not subscribing to it. I am subscribed to the thread at least !! Give me some credit there. HAHA

I want to give Adella a Fishy Stick but I ran out today.

I think I ate the last one. Being such a newb.

Actually you can do the resizing as you type in the URL in the Avatar setting place here. Right below the URL box there is 2 little boxes, if the image you are linking is more than 90x90, then just type in 90 in both them boxes. No need to do it first.

Yikes, we're supposed to eat those things?

Kidding. And Adella, I have a Fishy Stick for you now. *CLICK* -- Good thing I work in a supermarket.

@PseronWyrd (oopes... we're not a Bethsoft anymore) yes, Baldur's Gate is a good comparison to table-gaming, that is true. Gosh, if I had known about BG in the '90s I might have begun gaming as an adult earlier.
